DIED. Catherine Pollard, 88, the Boy Scouts of America's first female scoutmaster; in Seminole, Fla. Pollard, who had filled in as temporary leader of a troop in Milford, Conn., in the 1970s when no man volunteered, applied for the permanent job but was told women were not appropriate role models. Following a decade-long legal battle, the Scouts appointed her Milford's scoutmaster...
Mitchell's last novel, Cloud Atlas, skipped from the 19th century to the far future. This time he contents himself with one year--1982--in the life of one boy--dreamy, stammering Jason Taylor--in one English town.

...Vilsack: Local boy deemed too local, perhaps? "Too many people don't see him in that Presidential frame," Yepsen says. "And the lack of a real national security credential makes it tougher for governors as candidates these days." But Vilsack has been a fine governor of Iowa, and is a fine, thoughtful man - a classic turtle, who may prove to be a comfortable resting place for caucus-goers who ultimately deem the out-of-town talent too slick or not Iowa enough...
